Hi all came across this forum on the net when lookinhg for some info so thought this would be the best place to ask my question...
I re tiling a kitchen spash back which stretches across 3 walls underneath cupboards & behind the gas hob, I've stripped off the old tiles off the stud walls and all the grout so they are reasonable and fairly level, in a few places the tiles have taken off some of the paper on the plasterboard & in a couple of other places it has taken the paper off down to the plaster filling, I have tiled one small section off wall which has came out ok and am pleased with the outcome apart from me making the mistake of using unibond all in one adhesive and grout which Ive now realised is fairly diabolical to use.....so I intend to purchase some good quality adhesive to do the remaining walls.
My question is this that do I need to do anything more to the walls in preparation before I tile the rest? as I had a couple of tiles that didn't seem to stick properly when I tiled the small section. and I really want to make a good job of it. what adhesive and grouts are best?
cheers
Jon,
